He has released two CD's of his music - 'Motets', featuring 20 a cappella choral compositions; 'Songs', featuring 31 songs for voice & piano. Both of these CD's have received wide critical and audience acclaim, as well as receiving excellent support on classical radio across North America. His music has also been recorded by Canadian pianist Linda Shumas, who featured five of Nick's 'Poemes' for solo piano on her CD 'Paradise Reborn'. In 1992, Nick Peros' project 'Isumataq', a collaboration with Canadian painter Ken Kirkby, was recognized by the Government of Canada at a special closed ceremony in the House of Commons/Ottawa, attended by the members of the house, the party leaders, the Speaker of the House and the Prime Minister, as a project important for Canada and for Canadian culture. In 2002, Nick composed 'Prayer of Consolation' - an a cappella choral work composed to commemorate the First Anniversary of 9-11. The work is a setting of scripture that addresses the events of 9-11 and received it's world premiere on September 10, 2002 at Washington National Cathedral, Washington DC as a key component in the official US state commemorations of 9-11. 'Prayer of Consolation' received worldwide media attention from press, radio & tv. Nick's music is characterized by harmonic invention, a strong melodic sense and original tonality. His choral works range from homophonic textures to vibrant and rhythmic polyphonic counterpoint, often incorporating fugal textures into the fabric of the work. As a producer, Nick Peros has also been awarded a Platinum award for his CD 'O Canada- A Canadian Celebration' (certified Platinum), while three other CD's - 'Home for Christmas', 'Homegrown' and 'Stories From Home' have all achieved Gold Record status.
